Gini coefficient as a life table function
Demographic Research, 2003 This paper presents a toolkit for measuring and analyzing inter-individual inequality in length of life by Gini coefficient. Gini coefficient and four other inequality measures are defined on the length-of-life distribution.

Globalization and Economic Inequality in the Short and Long Run: The Case of South Korea 1975-1995 [PDF]
We have analyzed the determinants of the Gini coefficient for income and expenditure. In both cases, we do not find support for the Kuznets inverted-U hypothesis.

A method for estimating width bands of variables in economics under uncertainty conditions
MethodsX, 2021 This study develops a method to estimate the width bands of variables in economics by fuzzy logic. One of its important features is flexibility in the conditions of economic uncertainty, which can be used to model the uncertainty of external and internal

Measuring the Socio-Economic Bipolarization Phenomenon [PDF]
The present paper emphasizes the differences between the Gini concentration coefficient [13] and a new bipolarization index proposed by [20], [21]. In practice, the Gini index is applied frequently to determine the poverty degree of the persons of a ...

On Dagum’s Decomposition of the Gini Coefficient [PDF]
To measure the contributions to inequality from population subgroups, the Gini coefficient is often decomposed into inequality within groups, inequality between groups and a residual term arising from the overlapping of income distributions from ...

On Calculation of the Extended Gini Coefficient. [PDF]
The conventional formula for estimating the extended Gini coefficient is a covariance formula provided by Lerman and Yitzhaki (1989). We suggest an alternative estimator obtained by approximating the Lorenz curve by a series of linear segments.

Spatial Analysis of Income Inequality in Agriculture [PDF]
We investigate the spatial dimension of farm household income inequality as well as the importance of spatial considerations for its development over time using data for the period 1990-2009 on Swiss agriculture.

DEFINING POVERTY LINES AS A FRACTION OF CENTRAL TENDENCY [PDF]
We show under lognormality that, when the Gini coefficient is stable over time, defining the poverty line as a fraction of a central tendency of the living standard distribution restricts the evolution of the poverty measures to be stable.

Coefficient of variation and Power Pen's parade computation [PDF]
Under the the assumption that income y is a power function of its rank among n individuals, we approximate the coefficient of variation and gini index as functions of the power degree of the Pen's parade.
